Message from the co-ordinator This is the 25th year that Neighbourhood Support Rotorua was incorporated and the diversity of coverage can be seen by the new inclusive Neighbourhood Support logo. This year has been one of the most complex years we have had to face, yet one of the most successful years where it was proven how well Neighbourhood Support functions in unprecedented times. The pandemic was of course an event of extraordinary proportions. We have had a phenomenal response and many cheerful reports from a multitude of people. Neighbours in need received many offers of assistance from the neighbours in their streets during lockdown. This is precisely what we endeavour to get; neighbours who support each other and the pandemic in an unexpected way proved how well the concept of Neighbourhood Support works. Now would be a great time for more homes, schools and business to come on board. The school support program is ready to launch where neighbours support our schools with security vigilance during the evenings, weekends and holidays. During the lockdown period, our office was relocated to the home environment from where we continued our day to day
activities. This certainly had some positive aspects with the warmth of home cooking and coffee nearby. Having said that, we were away from our usual post at the police station and we coped remarkably well with the improvised situation. Bruce had the laptop and continued with his well-known efficiency with the administration tasks, while I largely dealt with our neighbourhood groups, the odd awkward situation, media and the police.
